I cannot find the "create feed template" option on my applications page.
Do I need to authorize my application? I didnt do that yet and am able to allow the user to login and allow permissions etc.
I havent submitted my application as it says the app needs 5 people or 10 monthly users, I just created it and my iphone app isnt out yet?
If I get to the Test console on facebook I dont see my app in the drop down menu? I dont even see a drop down menu.
How Do I create a template? Did facebook change the layout again :P making these tutorials off point?
Yea there's no such thing as templates anymore, you just pass the content as part of the api call.

I’m trying to set up and link the facebook sdk in some existing mobile apps to an existing fan page. I’m an admin for the fan page, so I have access to https://www.facebook.com/analytics/page_a_id/ for that page. I want to be able to track ad clicks —> app installs. I got a new app working with the sdk setting it up through https://developers.facebook.com/apps/app_b_id/dashboard/. But I want it to be linked to the first page, not a new app. How can I create an app and link it to that already existing fan page? I have followed the instructions from this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/13904144/419194), and I was able to successfully see the page I want to connect on https://developers.facebook.com/apps/app_b_id/settings/advanced/ . However, events from the facebook sdk on Android still are reported in the analytics page for page_a_id. Why is this? Is there anything else I have to do? Or am I just misunderstanding how this all works entirely?
And just to keep me sane, this is the correct process, right? I only want to be able to feed the sdk into the analytics. I feel like many other people must have done this, but there seems to be a lot of confusion from various SO/FB help posts.
I have like/share buttons on my website and am not currently using an appid. Finding information on whether this is a necessity for the above configuration is difficult to confirm. When going through the Facebook app "create" forms, I'm really confused by a lot of the requirements as it seems to be more focused around actual apps rather than websites, which login via fb etc.
In the past I have created an app for one of my other websites and I don't believe there was any verification/submission process at this point (about 2-3 years ago). Reviewing my old app configuration now I can see that it is not "live" - does anyone know whether Facebook implemented this submission process in the last couple of years, and then de-activated any live apps that were created prior to this?
I now want to setup a new app for my new website and I'm unsure what the different 'action types' mean and what I would need to simply use like/share buttons on the website. Could someone give me a quick run down of what I'd need and what they are?
Any other info/tips people can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm finding that the like/share DO still work without the app, but sometimes the share button doesn't work properly (I have a feeling this is something to do with the app).
Thanks
If you are just using the Social Plugins, you don't need to have a Facebook App ID.
If you want more integration, it will be required. Creating an App ID is like registering your App, wether an iOS or Android App or just a website, so that you can make Graph API calls for it.
The easiest way to register your website is to go the quickstart: https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/?platform=web (or https://developers.facebook.com/apps). There you can type a name and follow the steps.
You can then follow the "Sharing best practices" (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#tags) on how to use the App ID. For example, by including an fb:app_id meta tag on your pages.
There is a review process, since last April, but that is only needed if you use permissions for your App. If you just use the plugins, that is not needed.
Can you explain more what is exactly not working?
Update
The time you create a page the Facebook crawler does not know yet what the Opengraph data for that one is. This will happen after the first share, but if you want to ensure it is correct from the first share on, you can force a re-scrape.
This section explains how that works:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/opengraph/using-objects#update
When an app triggers a scrape using an API endpoint This Graph API
endpoint is simply a call to:
POST /?id={object-instance-id or object-url}&scrape=true
I want to get approval for my app id only for the like and share buttons of facebook but it seems that it got more complicated then before.
When I go to my app then javascript sdk to create the code of javascript for my site it shows
This app is in Development Mode and not available publicly.
Modo público can be enabled in the App Dashboard.
So then I go to the app dashboard and it is asking a lot of information I don't have because it's only to have the like button in my site I don't want to read more likes of users.
So anyone can help me to find the right way to do this.
The only thing you should have to fill in to make the app public is the Contact Email on the main Settings page:
(source: infused.org)
Found this thread whilst having the same problem. In addition to infused's post, you have to go to "status and review" and turn "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?" to Yes.
Furthermore, I noticed that removing the app id (as per the code you get if you are not logged in and go to the plugin generator page), then the code does not work at all.
Also, if the app is not set as live, then it will still sometimes work - just to make things harder to debug.
i'm searching the internet for a good howto concerning facebook developing, but can't find it. I created a facebook developer account, i also created an app (which is in developing mode).
But now i'm stuck...
I want to show the events of (my) facebook (fan) page in my Joomla website. I can find (joomla) modules for the website part, but they all say that i need a facebook app. Unfortunately nobody is explaining how you do this...
My question: what do i need to do in the facebook developer portal to create this functionality?
(if there is a representative example somewhere please refer me to it).
Thanks for the time and effort!
Kind regard,
Mijno
When you integrate your blog or cms with an app that you admin, you don't need special permissions.
So just create a facebook developer account.
Go to Apps & create an new app.
Fill in the fields. This will create a standard app and provides you with an App ID and the App Secret. This should be enough.
I'm trying to programmatically create an application in Facebook. I can do that with this:
https://www.facebook.com/connect/create_app.php?api_key=[key]&name=app_name
However, there's always a popup that says "Allow [Root App] to integrate Facebook functionality for you?" ... OK.
Is it possible for the "Root App" to create the application on the user's behalf without the popup via some previous permission which they have allowed, like stream_publish ...etc or maybe a session_token or ??
Someone said I can create child apps via "admin.setAppProperties" but couldn't get it working. I've also tried "FB.Connect.createApplication" and "Facebook.createApplication" but also failed.
Can anyone help? Maybe with some sample code.
There used to be an API for this but I think it has been discontinued. You can see if you can hack it together from the information available here:
http://blog.programmableweb.com/2009/10/15/facebook-lets-you-easily-integrate-into-sites-and-widgets-with-new-create-application-api/
Child applications (I believe they called them 'fourth party applications') intentionally need user interactions to create.
The documentation for https://www.facebook.com/connect/create_app.php?api_key=[key]&name=app_name is scarce to none. Are you able to access the API key of the newly created application somehow? Or set further app settings such as site-url?
I'm thinking you would need the user's permission to view /accounts then monitor before/after state to detect which one was created.
Is it possible for the "Root App" to create the application on the
user's behalf without the popup via some previous permission which
they have allowed, like stream_publish ...etc or maybe a session_token
or ??
If you create a Facebook application that only pulls someone's profile information, and then you add new functionality that allows it to automatically post on people's walls; you would have to require the user to re-authenticate themselves to give you those extra permissions.
It's hard to understand what you meant by that question.
